Flip Flop Hip Hop - ALBUM OUT raise $ for the Gulf

About Me

Deeply moved by his community and political work in areas hit by hurricane Katrina, the rap poet shares his experiences on these tracks. He hopes to educate the general public on current issues facing the residents of the Gulf Coast. All proceeds from the album will benefit the rebuilding efforts in the Gulf Coast.He worked politically in the Gulf Coast with the Gulf Coast Civic Works project (www.solvingpoverty.com) organizing town hall meetings in New Orleans, Louisiana and Gulfport/Biloxi, Mississippi. He also did community outreach work in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with a group of fellow Stanford University students.His second album, entitled "Experiments With Truth," exposes issues in the current Israel/Palestine conflict. It was released in March 2008.What is Flip Flop Hip Hop? Flip Flop Hip Hop is the newest hip hop movement to hit the scene. FFHH champions "flipping" back to when mainstream rap had a more diverse (balanced) content, as well as stepping away from materialism to objectively analyze society. Another aspect of its namesake is to pay allegiance to its Northern California roots, the pervasive flip flops, and the laid-back yet astute sensibilities.JeFFHH’s work has been featured on KPFA 94.1, KZSU 90.1, The Palo Alto Weekly, The Stanford Magazine, and The Stanford Daily.Flip Flop Hip Hop consists of producer Jake, producer Satjit Dangereux, DJ Mayo, and emcee JeFM Radio.Catch them performing around the San Francisco Bay Area. Buy the album:Contact [email protected] about booking.Help the Gulf Coast by going to www.solvingpoverty.com and sign the petition to allow Gulf Coast residents to rebuild their communities. Shoutout to Kristin of 4RealNews for putting this together. The bill is in the House y’all...as in the Gulf Coast Civic Works Act is in the House of Representatives. You thought I was going to say some cliche hip hop ish? no.
